Course description

JAPN1011 is a course for students beginning the study of Japanese. Students may take JAPN1011 only, or they may take JAPN1012 in the same semester. Students who have completed prior study of Japanese are not eligible to enrol in this course. This course introduces students to the Japanese language and develops conversational skills for use in everyday situations such as social life and university life. Students also learn to read and write in Japanese using two phonetic syllabaries, hiragana and katakana. Students begin to gain cultural understanding through engaging with a foreign language, and develop effective language study strategies.
